What Is the Silk Road in Ancient History? Updated February 10, 2017. The Silk Road is actually many routes from the Roman Empire through the steppes, mountains, and deserts of Central Asia and India to China. By the Silk Road, the Romans obtained silk and other luxuries. Eastern empires traded for Roman gold, among other items. Besides the deliberate acts of trade, culture diffused throughout the area.

- The first human migrations out of Africa are thought to have taken place 70,000 years ago. Migrants gradually made their way down India's coast over a few thousand years. The migration was possible because sea levels were 200 feet lower then they are now, allowing travel via long-since submerged land bridges.

- Human migration. Human migration is the movement by people from one place to another with the intentions of settling, permanently in the new location. The movement is often over long distances and from one country to another, but internal migration is also possible; indeed, this is the dominant form globally.

Cultural Diffusion & the Silk Route of Ancient China China's silk trade led to cultural diffusion throughout Eurasia and India. Cultural diffusion, or the spread of ideas and customs from one society to another, occurs in a variety of ways including migration, war and trade among diverse societies. The Silk Road of ancient China is an example of cultural diffusion occurring as a result of trade.

Human evolution Early humans first migrated out of Africa into Asia probably between 2 million and 1.8 million years ago. They entered Europe somewhat later, between 1.5 million and 1 million years. Species of modern humans populated many parts of the world much later. For instance, people first came to Australia probably within the past 60,000 years and to the Americas within the past 30,000 years or so. The beginnings of agriculture and the rise of the first civilizations occurred within the past 12,000 years.

Human This migration out of Africa is estimated to have begun about 70,000 years BP (Before Present) and modern humans subsequently spread globally, replacing earlier hominins either through competition or hybridization. They inhabited Eurasia and Oceania by 40,000 years BP, and the Americas by at least 14,500 years BP.

- By 1.9 million years ago, some of the early transitional humans had evolved into a new, fully human species in Africa. Most paleoanthropologists refer to them as Homo erectus (literally upright human). However, a few researchers split them into two species--Homo ergaster (literally working human) and Homo erectus.

Human evolution Human evolution is about the origin of human beings. All humans belong to the same species, which has spread from its birthplace in Africa to almost all parts of the world. Its origin in Africa is proved by the fossils which have been found there. The term 'human' in this context means the genus Homo. However, studies of human evolution usually include other hominids, such as the Australopithecines, from which the genus Homo had diverged (split) by about 2.3 to 2.4 million years ago in Africa. The first Homo sapiens, the ancestors of today's humans, evolved around 200,000 years ago.

Scientists confirm early humans were from Africa but their route out was via Arabia not Egypt Scientists confirm early humans were from Africa but their route out was via Arabia not Egypt. Our human ancestors did come from Africa but left the continent to spread across the world via a different route than first thought, scientists have revealed. A six-year study mapping genetic patterns found that people who ended up in Europe, Asia and Oceania got there by crossing the sea to Arabia around 70,000 years ago.

- Geissenklösterle, Germany. This site has yielded artefacts such as a bone flute and is key to the theory that some complex human behaviours spread through Europe via southern Germany. Previous dates were inconsistent, but new dating work pegs early human occupations to 42,500 years ago — earlier than similar sites across Europe.

The Silk Road â Ancient Trading Route Between Europe and Asia Religion, languages and diseases also spread along the Silk Road. Buddhism, which originated in India, spread to China along this route. European traders probably brought the plague from Asia to Europe along the ancient road.he route is over 6,500 km long and got its name because the early Chinese traded silk along it. Although silk was the main trading item there were many other goods that travelled along the Silk Road between Eastern Asia and Europe.

How Did Geography Affect Early China Before the Silk Road? The Silk Road is the name given to a series of trade routes formally established during the Han Dynasty around 200 B.C. that connected ancient civilizations across Asia, North Africa and Europe. These routes aided in establishing early global commerce, as well as the dissemination of culture, knowledge and technology.ith deserts and mountains in the west that were mostly impassible due to the limited long-range transportation options available, early China's civilizations were unaware that European civilizations existed prior to the development of the Silk Road.

JUST THE FACTS Even before the appearance about 300,000 years ago of Homo sapiens, the ancestors of modern human beings, other hominid species, such as Homo erectus, had moved outward from Africa to Asia and Europe. Africa, therefore, holds a special place in the development of the human species. It was the scene of human origins.Moreover, in cultural terms, Africa participated in the early development of civilization. Despite the false image of Africa as the dark and isolated continent, it was, in fact, often in contact with other areas of the world.ven before the appearance about 300,000 years ago of Homo sapiens, the ancestors of modern human beings, other hominid species, such as Homo erectus, had moved outward from Africa to Asia and Europe.

- A map of early human migrations. Homo sapiens seem to have appeared in East Africa around 200,000 years ago. The oldest individuals found left their marks in the Omo remains (195,000 years ago) and the Homo sapiens idaltu (160,000 years ago), that was found at the Middle Awash site in Ethiopia.he expansion of modern human population is thought to have begun 45,000 years ago, and may have taken 15,000-20,000 years for Europe to be colonized. During this time the Neanderthals were slowly being displaced.

The Silk Road The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes that extended across Europe and Asia, linking powerful civilizations such as China and Rome. The Silk Road flourished from about 1500 B.C. to A.D. 1500 and extended from China through Central Asia to the Caspian and Black Seas.ilk actually composed a relatively small portion of the trade along the Silk Road. Eastbound caravans brought gold, precious metals and stones, textiles, ivory, and coral; while westbound caravans transported furs, ceramics, cinnamon bark, rhubarb, and bronze weapons.
